Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
CK61 Mobile Computer User’s Manual With Windows Mobile 67
• You can copy a directory structure that contains the application,
supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CK61 uses standard Windows .cab files and will install third-
party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in
any of these memory locations on the CK61:
• The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a
DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is
an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system
flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although
it might be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to
storing applications and data files, you have the option to store
persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region.
• The optional SD card. If you are using a SD card, this should be
the primary location to place application installation files. The SD
card creates the Storage Card folder on the CK61.
• The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the
small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that
rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab
file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when
you perform clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited
number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive
writing.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer as long as the Outrun system is installed in the appropriate
location. You can find information about this system in the Intermec
Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide which is
available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a .cab file to
the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on
every cold boot.
There are several ways you can install files and applications on the
computer:
• SmartSystems Foundation
• ActiveSync
• SD card
• FTP Server
